補習-The Hare and the Tortoise

The Hare was once boasting of his speed before the other
animals. I have never yet been beaten, said he, when I put
forth my full speed. I challenge any one here to race with me.

The Tortoise said quietly, I accept your challenge.

That is a good joke, said the Hare; I could dance round you
all the way.

Keep your boasting till you've beaten, answered the
Tortoise. Shall we race?

So a course was fixed and a start was made. The Hare darted
almost out of sight at once, but soon stopped and, to show his
contempt for the Tortoise, lay down to have a nap. The Tortoise
plodded on and plodded on, and when the Hare awoke from his nap,
he saw the Tortoise just near the winning-post and could not run
up in time to save the race. Then said the Tortoise:


Plodding wins the race.
